Something like sixty thousand bushels ot potatoes were landed at New York City from one ship about a week ago. These potatoes came from Liverpool and were grown in the British Isles. It does seem strange that a great big agricultural country like the United States cannot raise enough potatoes for home consumption. Potatoes bring something like a dollar a bushel in the east, and it would seem that there would be better money in raising potatoes than taking chances on raising from six to ten bushels of wheat per acre.—Morris Sun. The farmers of Beltrami county are taking great interest in the raising of potatoes and ere another year rolls around, the raising of tubers will be one of the principal occupations of the tillers of the soil hereabouts. While there is a diversity of opinion among authorities on pota- toes as to the best variety to raise here, there are several kinds that are considered wonderful producers, and potato raising will be a pro- fitable portion of the farming here- after. Todd Counry Argus: The Bemidji Pioneer has absorbed the Record and the News. This con- solidation, following the merging of the Herald and Tribuue at Akeley, shows that newspaper men are growing tired of trying to exist where the field is too small and crowded. There is a great deal more expense attached to the pub- lication of a good country news- paper than most people are aware of and the wise plan is to con- solidate where the field will not support more than one good paper. COLONY TO SUPPORT ' TEN MILLION PEOPLE Jows Plan Extensive Settlemeni in Mesopotamia. e ! New York, May 20.—Detalls of the eontemplated establishment in Meso. potamia of the largest Jewish colony the world ever has seen have been made public. Announcement was made of the combination in support of the project of international Jewish organizations which never have acted: together be- fore. That the new movement has financial resources in excess of $100, 000,000 and that the country which it 18 proposed to turn into a Jewish col- ony will support a population of 10, 000,00 are indications of the extent of the enterprise. Men in this city who are interested in the latest movement toward the es- tablishment of a Jewish colony said credit for having united the various forces in support of this elaborate plan should be given to Jacob FH. Schiff and Isracl Zangwill, Private advices from London tell ot a meeting of the Jewish Territorial organization, at which Mr. Zangwill, Sir Andrew Wingate, Meyer Spiclman and others declared that in the settle- ment of Mesopotamia is to be found the solution of troubles which have beset the Jews since they were dis- persed from Palestine. . FAMOUS;RESORT BANKRUPT Moulin Rouge at Paris Suspend. Parils, May 20.—The Moulin Rouge, probably the most famous resort in the history of Paris, has been de- clared bankrupt by the tribunal of commerce. Of late the vogue of the resort has been steadily decreasing, owing to the work of the purity cru- saders. who have brought about the elimination of some of the sensational dances that were the chief features of the place. The varions managers of the con cern have made fortunes in it, but many more have met ruin in trying te conduct it on a lavish scale neces sarv to attract tourists.

The follow- ing program was rendered in Jacobson’s hall to which a large and appreciative audience listened: EGZEMA A GERM DISEASE Myriads of Microscopic Animals Infest the Skin of the Sufferer. sufferer itches and burns in untold agony, do you know what is going on within the pores' of that skin? Myriads of microscopic atimals are gnawing at the flesh, breaking 'down the fine cells and causing festers, thick scales and that terri- ble itch. The germs multiply faster than Nature can throw them off, Now, there is only one way to get rid of these germs—they must be killed in their lodging places. Dosing the stomach or trying to cure the blood will not, of course, kill the germs, and that is why all the blood remedies fail in eczema; that is also why salves which do aot penetrate can do no perman- ent good. Ordinary oil of wintergreen properly compounded in liquid form will penetrate the pores of the skin and kill the eczema germs. | The Enchanted Garder, A Flower Masqe, Primary Room; Minne- sota State Song, School; address, Our Schools, Mrs. M.

Par{s, May 20.—The life of Paris ‘was in all respects normal up to noon and the general strike, decreed by the General Federation of Labor, to com- mence with the bullding trades, prom- ises to be a huge flasco. The move- ment, which was to be followed by strikes on the part of all the other trade unlonists of France, was voted by the hotheads against the better judgment of the conservatives, who realized that the time was not ripe for such action and that the whole proletariat movement, which had been preparing for so long, was likely to be compromised for years te come by failure. Moreover, it was learned that the strike had been voted by representa- tives of the minority. Only eighty- two out of a total of 180 union dele- gates favored the movement and with the exception of the building trades and the electrical workers these dele- gates represent tho least powerful of the syndicatc. The government now regards the agitation as purely revolutionary and as foredoomed to result in failure. A soldier on duty at a branch post- office was attacked and almost stab- bed to death by three discharged post- men. Duty Remains the Same. ‘Washington, May 20.—Changing his amendment, which had originally placed linotypes on the free list, so as to provide a duty of 10 per cent, Mr. Paynter asked for a vote, and the amendment was defeated, 35 to 43.

NOW ON TRIAL FOR MURDER Man Who Attempted to Kill Garfield’s Assassin. ‘Washington, May 20.—William (“Bill') Jones, who many years ago attracted national interest when he attempted - to avenge the killing of President Garfield by shooting at Charles Guiteau, the assassin, while the latter was being removed from the courthouse to the jail in this city, was placed on trial here charged with the murder of John A. McPherson, a former marine, who was employed by Jones as a farmhand. McPherson was * killed on Oct. 11, 1908, in Jones’ home about two miles from this city. Jones pleaded self. defense. It was during Guiteau’s trial that Jones created a nationwide sensation. One day while the trial was near- ing its close Guiteau had been placed in the prison van to be taken to the Jail. Jones, mounted upon a spirited animal, dashed through the crowds toward the wagon and, whipping out a revolver from his hip pocket, fired several shots at the assassin, one of the bullets grazing’ his head. Jones made his escape into the country. Later he was captured and brought back to the city, but was never prose- cuted. UAKES CHARGE OF BRIBERY Former Warden of Michigan Prison Accuses Chicago Man.

Frank Hoffman of Michi- and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pro- nounced it incurable.
